Hiroshima bombing, 80 years later. NHK, 11965 kHz.

Carlos notes:
When an emergency occurs, such as an earthquake or tsunami, NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster, switches its programming to exclusively news coverage of the event. Even the broadcaster’s homepage switches to a light version to reduce cell phone battery consumption.
When I received news of the tsunami, it was already after 10 p.m. in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and the propagation to Japan at that time is terrible; you couldn’t hear anything!
However, in the morning, after 4 a.m., propagation reopens, and then it was possible to monitor part of NHK’s radio coverage of the tsunami.
